Step one of two has been completed dealing with my surveys. I created a short, ten question survey utilizing Survey Monkey and have sent the link to all staff at my site school. I will be following up with the staff in about two weeks, due to it being TAKS time and my survey is not top priority. However; I very excited and anxious to get their results and feedback. I am in the process of compiling a parent survey that will be sent to the site principal and PRE for approval. I need to touch base with my site principal to get her feed back on whether to sent it to ALL students, or just my sample group. Speaking of sample groups, I will be choosing them within the next two weeks.
Overall, my action research plan is coming along great!
Amy, I just wanted to give you a heads up about survey monkey that I learned the hard way. I don't know how many students you are thinking of surveying, but the site will let you gather as many as you want....but unless you PAY for an upgraded account, you will only be able to see the first 100 results. One way around this is to set up the same survey multiple times so that no more than 100 students would be using the same link. Our department surveyed 500 kids but have no way of seeing our results unless we pay for a whole year of upgraded survey monkey :( maybe you already knew this, but i wanted to warn you just in case!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that valuable information. I was not aware of the limit! This information may make the decision for us - to send the parent survey just to the sample group, or just do a random survey or students. THANKS AGAIN!
